华约样题
In
the
following
article,
some
sentences
or
paragraphs
have
been
removed.
For
questions
1
to
5,
choose
the
most
suitable one
from the list A-F to fit into each of the numbered
gaps. There is ONE which does not fit in any of
the gaps.
Most of the people who appear
most often and most gloriously in the history
books are great conquerors and generals,
whereas the people who really helped
civilization forward are often never mentioned at
all. We do not know who first set
a
broken leg, or launched a seagoing boat, or calculated the length of the year? but we
know all about the killers and
destroyers. People think a great deal
of them, so much so that on all the highest
pillars in the great cities of the world you
will find the figure of a conqueror or
a general. ___1____.
It is just
possible they are, but they are not the most
civilized. Animals fight? so
do savages? hence to be good at fighting
is to be good in the way in which an
animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be
civilized. ____2____ .People fight to
settle quarrels. Fighting means
killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to
find some way of settling their disputes
other than by seeing which side can
kill off the greater number of the other side, and
then saying that that side which has
killed most has won
3
.
That is what the story of mankind has
on the whole been like. Even our own age has
fought the two greatest wars in
history, in which millions of people
were killed. And while today it is true that
people do not fight and kill each other in
the streets, nations and countries have
not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like
savages. But we must not expect too
much. After all, the race of men has
only just started. From the point of view of
evolution, human beings are very young
children indeed, babies, in fact, of a
few months old.
4
. These figures are difficult to grasp? so let
us scale
them down. Suppose
that we reckon the whole past of living creatures
on the earth as on
e hundred years? then the whole
past of man works out at about
one month, and during that month there have been
civilizations for between seven and
eight hours.
5
.
Taking
man’s
civilized
past
at
about
seven
or
eight
hours,
we
mayestimate
his
fut
ure
at
about
one
hundred thousand years. Thus mankind is
only at the beginning of its civilized life, and
as I say, we must not expect too
much.
The past of man has been on the whole a pretty
beastly business, a business of fighting and
killing. We must not
expect
even
civilized
peoples
not
to
have
done
these
things.
All
we
can
ask
is
that
they
will
sometimes
have
done
something else.
[A] Even being good at getting other
people to fight for you and telling them how to do
it most efficiently
–
this, after all,
is what conquerors and generals
have done
–
is not being civilized.
[B] And I think most people believe
that the greatest countries are those that have
beaten in battle the greatest number of
other countries and ruled over them as
conquerors.
[C]
We
have
got
to
the
stage
of
keeping
the
rules
and behaving
properly
in
daily
life.
However,
every
year
conflicts
between countries and nations are still
claiming thousands of lives.
[D] And
not only has won, but, because it has won, has
been in the right. For that is
what going to war means? it means
saying that
might is right.
[E] So you see there
has been little time to learn in, but there will
be oceans of time in which to learn better.
[F] Scientists reckon that there has
been life of some sort on the earth in the form of
jellyfish and that kind of creature for
about twelve hundred million years?
but
there have been men for only one million years, and there have been civilized
men for about eight thousand years at
the outside.

Translate the following text into English.
有人说成功取
决于性格，但我认为什么性格都可能成功，关键是要分析自己的实际，做自己喜欢并擅长的事。这
样，你才会坚持，不畏艰难，不轻易改变方向。这时，成功离你就不远了。

Section II Writing
Part A
6. Some people say
that one’s success is determined by his
personality. But I believe
that one can succeed regardless of
the type of
person he is. The key to success is, first of all,
to know yourself well and then find something you
both like to
do and are good at doing.
In that case you will most likely hold on to the
thing without giving in to any difficulties. If
you stick to it without changing the
direction, you will not be far away from success.

一、现代文阅读
十二点的列车
［埃及］舒尔巴吉著
郅溥浩译
正午时分，时钟照例敲了十二下。火车慢慢起动。就在这当儿，麦斯欧德迅速跳上最后
一节车厢。车厢里挤满了乘客，一个空位子也没有，连过道上都站满了人。他决
心为自己找
一个座位，不能这样站一路。他看见有个座位上放着一只手
提包，想先去抢座，免得给别人
占去。他从站在过道上的人群中用肩头
艰难地为自己开路，终于走到那座位前。他伸手将包
拎起，问
也没问一声就将它塞到座位底下。坐
在对面的一位姑娘大声嚷起来，问
他要干什么？
他冷冷地反问道：
“这是你的提包吗？”
3
“是我的！
”
“那好！位子是给人坐的，不是放提包的！
”
说完他便仰靠在座位上，带点歉意地向那姑娘微笑。姑娘把脸转到一边，没理他。
一小时后，火车在下一站停车。检票员走过来查票。他在一位乘客面前停下来，要他下<
/p>
车。那乘客回答说：
“我买的是到终点站的票！
”
“所有乘客的票都是到终点站的。但每站都必须有一些乘客要下去，给新上来的乘客腾
出地方。
”
“真是怪事，世界上没有一列火车会发生这种事。
”
“我们这次列车有自己的规定。你必须下去！
”
“先生，我求你??”
“听着，如果你再不下
去，我就命令乘警把你从窗口扔下去！
”
“等等，让我再买一张票。
”
“没有新票卖给你。
”
“可是??”
“你是在有意浪费我的时间??”
检票员对身
后的四名乘警示意，让他们把这乘客从车窗扔出去。说时迟，那时快，乘警
像闪电般扑向那乘客，迅即抓住他把他从窗口扔了出去。一会儿火车便开动了，那乘客凄惨
的呼唤声渐渐消失。检票员和乘警在乘客的惊惧中离开了车厢。
麦斯欧德看了看姑娘，禁不住和她攀谈起来。姑娘由于刚才的惊恐，也希望有个人和自
己说说话，减轻一下刚才目睹的事给她造成的心理影响。麦斯欧德说道：
“刚才是怎么回事？”
“不知道！不敢相信刚才看见的事实??”
“那就让我们忘掉它。你叫什么名字？”
“可我不了解你??”
“那好，让我先作自我
介绍吧。我叫麦斯欧德，是个农业工程师，教过书，后来辞职不
干了。
现在我到终点站去领取分给我的土地，我要在那儿耕耘播种，成家立业。你看，这不
是比干公职强得多吗？”
姑娘转过脸去，淡淡地说：
